37 Pitiful, Weak, and Helpless

Under the effect of a large number of breakthrough points, Zhu Wuyang’s bladder and three truncal cavities were quickly tempered. Next, it was time to temper the last two internal organs.

The lungs and kidneys!

If he could complete the tempering of his lungs, even if Zhu Wuyang smoked 10,000 cigarettes a day, his lungs would not have any problems. After the tempering, his body could effectively expel the various toxins in his lungs.

Regrettably, this was not Earth and there were no cigarettes. Fortunately, Zhu Wuyang only smoked occasionally when he was on Earth and did not develop a habit, so it was not that difficult to endure.

If he was a pipe smoker, he would probably have gone crazy already.

As for the benefits of tempering the kidneys, there was no need to talk about them. Every man wanted their kidneys to be sufficiently honed and improved.

When the honing of the kidneys was completed, even if his golden spear could not topple a pillar, it could at least go for seven times a night.

How the Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu could give birth to so many Princes and Princesses in just a hundred years could be attributed to how powerful his kidneys were. This was all from cultivation.

The Earth blood essence had already condensed into thick dark clouds that enveloped Zhu Wuyang’s internal organs. After filtering through his skin, muscles, tendons, and bones, it became extremely gentle and enveloped his lungs and kidneys.

If he wanted to temper his body, he first had to increase his blood essence. Without a sufficiently powerful blood essence, it was impossible to temper a martial artist’s body.

The deeper and more thorough the tempering of the body, the more powerful the Qi and blood required.

Therefore, the strange power transformed from the breakthrough points first increased Zhu Wuyang’s Earth Qi and blood essence. Only when the Earth Qi and blood essence reached a certain level, it began to temper his internal organs.

Layers of Earth Qi and blood essence intertwined and circulated in his body, shuttling through his internal organs, hammering, tempering, nourishing… It was a very efficient process and rapidly increased Zhu Wuyang’s strength.

When his lungs and kidneys were tempered, it meant that Zhu Wu’s strength had stepped into a new realm.

Perfection of the Five Viscera Refinement realm!

He could already jump like an ape and gallop like a horse. Even some modern cars might not catch up to Zhu Wuyang’s speed.

Not to mention that Zhu Wuyang’s foundation was very powerful, far surpassing martial artists of the same level. If ordinary martial artists were electric cars, Zhu Wuyang was a super sports car. The difference between the two could be imagined.

Strength, defense, speed… Every attribute was further improved. The strength of his Earth Qi and blood essence was needless to say. He was already comparable to cultivators at the Bone Marrow Refinement realm or even the Blood Refinement realm.

At this moment, Zhu Wuyang’s strength was so strong that it was a piece of cake for him to steadily sweep through martial artists in the Bone Marrow Refinement realm or even the Blood Refinement realm.

With a raise of his hand, Zhu Wuyang could even exert more than 20,000 catties of strength. On Earth, this was simply a fantasy.

Even in this mysterious world, only martial artists above the Late-stage Blood Refinement realm could unleash such astonishing strength.

Zhu Wuyang’s overall strength was now barely comparable to the weakest batch of palace maids and eunuchs in the Crown Prince’s Palace.

As for the guards in the Crown Prince Palace, the weakest of them was at the Meridian Forging Realm. Zhu Wuyang was still quite a distance away from them.

“Congratulations to the host for advancing to the Perfected Five Viscera Refinement realm for the first time in your life. You have received 3,000 breakthrough points…”

After absorbing this wave of breakthrough points and stabilizing his current strength, Zhu Wuyang’s strength on the surface had also reached the Perfected Golden Bones Refinement realm.

At this moment, Lai Chun and Chu Xia also rushed towards the Crown Prince’s chambers with a large group of people. Wei Ancai, Feng Yuan, and the others’ expressions were tense and rather ugly.

“Lai Chun, Chu Xia, what are the two of you doing? You actually didn’t even detect the strength increasing pills in the food? Now that His Highness the Crown Prince’s strength has increased by so much, if this angered His Majesty, the two of you can just wait to pay with your lives!”

“Which bastard went so overboard? The 168th Prince has just ascended to the position of Crown Prince, but they already can’t wait to attack him. Can’t they tell that the possibility of the 168th Prince ascending the throne is basically zero?”

“There will always be some short-sighted Princes and Princesses who are arrogant. We have to inform the other Princes about this and let them find out who that bastard is and warn him.”

“In the future, all of the Crown Prince’s meals must be tasted by Xiantian realm martial artists. At the same time, they must be sent in after a period of time. We must not allow such a thing to happen again.”

… .

A group of eunuchs, guards, and palace maids walked into the study in a panic. They immediately sensed the aura of Zhu Wuyang’s Perfected Golden Bones Refinement cultivation. All of them immediately felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Lai Chun and Chu Xia could not even stand steadily.

“Perfected Golden Bones Refinement. This is the aura of a Perfected Golden Bones Refinement cultivator! Who exactly framed the Crown Prince like this? They actually used such a powerful tonic on the Crown Prince, allowing his strength to increase so much. What should we do now?”

“A 17-year-old martial artist at the Perfected Golden Bones Refinement Realm is a genius even in the outside world, let alone in the palace. If he becomes envied, the consequences for His Highness the Crown Prince will be worrying. This matter must be reported to the other Princes and His Majesty immediately so that they won’t become suspicious.”

“From the Mid-stage Tendons Refinement realm to the Perfected Golden Bones Refinement realm, it’s a full major realm and six minor realms. The other party has put an extremely large amount of tonics in the food! It’s obvious that he wants to kill His Highness the Crown Prince. This kind of thing cannot be tolerated!”

“Your Highness, my condolences! Don’t take things too hard. It’s not your fault that your strength has increased. Someone drugged you. We will definitely report this matter to His Majesty and not let him be dissatisfied with you.”

… .

Zhu Wuyang pretended to be sad. His face was pale as he returned to the bed and continued to endure the beating of the breakthrough points.

“Congratulations to the host for succeeding in scheming against others for the first time in your life. You have obtained 2,000 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for taking the risk of eating drugged food for the first time in your life. You have received 1,000 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for being sincerely cared for for the first time in your life. You have obtained 800 breakthrough points…”

… .

Zhu Wuyang, who was lying under the blanket, quickly started trembling again. He was like a timid little boy who was too sad and afraid. He could only hide under the blanket and tremble.

The news that Zhu Wuyang had been drugged and his strength had soared was spreading throughout the entire palace at an astonishing speed. Some Princes and Princesses who were “concerned” about Zhu Wuyang were the first to receive this news.
